Great.... I'll just live off my 401K at 90 when I'm able to retire.....

And if a Republican ( who recognizes that this situation is unsustainable) suggests some kind of change in the program, the left jumps up and down, stomps its feet, and brands the Republicans as folks who "don't care about the avg American (, in reality, letting the system go broke is the better example of not caring about the average American)  Finding a way to make the social security system solvent so it continue to pay out its benefits is"caring about all people" not just todays voters.

Let's look at this logically.  Folks on Social Security Retirement Program have paid in to have that money.  Folks on welfare haven't pain in, so surely the Govt will cut the welfare folks and take care of those who worked, right?   So no way would they cut SS, right?  Right?  Right?  Right?  

And Uncle Sam said, Wrong!

Perfect example of why SS should go away (among many other programs).

You CANNOT trust the fed gov with your money...sadly, the takers are more than happy to trust the fed gov with your money so they can have it.

Trump has tens of millions of dollars.  Did he go broke?  Yep. What then?  He got up. Dusted himself off, and tried again.  People that try, learn from their failures.  

Do i like Trump as a person?  Not particularly.  Do I admire Trump the businessman?   Grudgingly, yes.

On last nights news, I heard that SS recipients were getting a $2 per month raise.  Oh, and their Medicare payments were going up $26 per month.  I'm no accountant, but I think I need to buy some lubricant of some kind for this Govt love-in.

AS I have stated 1000 times on this board, there is ABSOLUTELY no worse or incompetent business manager than the Federal Government and yet so many want it to manage more $

John D. Rockefeller never went broke, now that was a businessman. Would you invest money with a investment firm that went bankrupt four times or one that never has.

Then you are saying that Abraham Lincoln was an unworthy President and that Henry Ford and Walt Disney were  poor business managers.  Just for the record, Mr. Trump never went bankrupt personally.  If bankruptcy troubles you so much, why arent you going crazy about Solyndra?

I'm surprised you hold Rockefeller in such high esteem. After all, he was a devoted Baptist and funded many Christian organizations that the left hold in such contempt. In his later years he did use his wealth to do a lot of good, but his wealth was accumulated off the backs of his employees. You know, the employees that worked from sun up to sun down with no overtime pay, no 401K, no benefits of any kind, no sick leave, no maternity leave, no paternity leave, no union representation... I'm not familiar with his hiring practices of minorities. Would the diversity of his workforce pass the Affirmative Action mustard?

Maybe your admiration stems from the fact that he and Carnegie were so adept in cornering the markets that they forced Congress to create anti-monopoly and anti-trust laws.

I'm just guessing here. Please enlighten us as to why you feel Rockefeller represents the pinnacle of the business world.

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      By baddog · Posted

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
